problems with f stop and shutter speed K-7

Hi,

My K-7 suddenly stopped at .5 It also kept changing to B&W (that I could usually change back.) I have been trying to get around the shutter speed by using the wheel. I can get normal speed, but it won't stay steady and sometimes it jumpto to high speed and won't let me change it. I have no F stops either no matter what I try. It will say aperture priority but it lies. I can use any help I can get. I shoot bird and butterflies. They refuse to sit still for me. I can't afford to new camera so if this one can't be managed, then I just don't shoot for a long, long time. Thanks for any help you can give me.

What lens are you using? Have you tried using a different one?

I'll be darned. It's the lens I just bought used a little while ago. Time for a call to adorama. Thanks so much!
